Domaine YUZO is a true natural wine made from grapes grown through natural cultivation without the use of any pesticides or fertilizers. In the Japanese wine market, less than 1% of wines can truly be called natural wines. This is because over 99% of wines are made from grapes that have been treated with pesticides. However, Musashi Winery Co., Ltd.’s Domaine YUZO is a project initiated by Yuzo Fukushima in 2010 when he studied organic farming in Ogawa Town, Hiki District, Saitama Prefecture. Since 2011, they began full-scale grape cultivation without the use of chemical pesticides or fertilizers, and have since evolved to natural cultivation without even organic fertilizers. This region is also known as the home of organic farming and is an ideal place to grow grapes in a healthy environment. In April 2019, they obtained a license to produce fruit wine and established their status as a domaine-style winery using 100% of their own grapes. A “domaine” refers to a winery in France’s Burgundy region that consistently manages both grape cultivation and wine production. Domaine YUZO faithfully adheres to this tradition and, in addition, offers wine without the use of any additives such as cultured yeast, antioxidants, fermentation aids, or fining agents. The only gases used are carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and argon, employing a production method that fully harnesses the power of nature. Musashi Winery’s goal is to provide safe and secure food and to bring happiness to everyone involved through food. They have chosen the Koshu, a hybrid variety of wild grape, as a grape variety that can be cultivated in Ogawa Town. By adopting natural cultivation methods that utilize plant growth hormones, they have strengthened the vigor of the vines, contrary to conventional wisdom in grape cultivation, enabling the cultivation of varieties such as Merlot and Chardonnay. Through these efforts, they have realized natural wines made from the highest quality grapes. Domaine YUZO is a wine that is gentle on the body and pairs wonderfully with food, making it perfect for special occasions with loved ones. We are confident that you will feel the difference.
